Digitizing Buffalo Murals

Samantha Mallare

I am a St. Bonaventure student from the Buffalo, New York area.  I personally love looking around at different murals in the area.  Recently I have become very interested in using a digital drawing app on my iPad.  Although it had only started out as redrawing pictures of my boyfriend and myself for fun.  It segwayed into helping our club hockey team with photo editing and even my father with logo ideas.  From the photos of my boyfriend and I was where this idea came from.  One of my favorite photos of myself was taken in front of a butterfly mural (as drawn on the right) on Elmwood Avenue painted by Nicole Cherry (you can view this and more of her work under the 'murals' tab up top).  This website is a portfolio of my works of digitizing the work of local Buffalo N.Y. mural artists. Each one is labeled with the artist name, Instagram handle, and location of the mural. This idea had originated from a class project for my ENG 325 course but it became much more enjoyable than just an assignment.​
